An Alleged Traducer Shot.

The shooting of John Murphy by Mrs.
c. G. Hegener, at St. Paul, Minnesota,
last Wednesday evening, at about 6
o'clock, and the death of the victim of the
enraged woman's wrath some Eve hours
later, has caused great excitement in this
City since the horrible occurrence, all the
parties to the terrible affair having for
merly resided here. In explanation for
committing such a shocking crime, Mrs.
Hegener claims that Murphy accused her
to her husband of improper intimacy with
himself and other men, and that she
killed him to prove herself innocent. She
boldly asserts, that she was ordered by
her husband to kill Murphy under the
threat of being "cut to pieces" if she
failed to do his bidding. Hegener was
formerly a barber here and married his
present wife in Milwaukee about six
years ago, their wedding not taking
place here, because of the objections
Hegener's father had to wedding IN the
family so soon after his wife's death
Mrs. Hegener's maiden name was Miss
Bertha Thorn She is a sister of Paul
Thorn, employed for many years with
Wiggenhorn Bros Until this unfortu-
nate affair nothing derogatory has ever
been lisped against her character. She

0. D. PEASE POST CAMP FIRE.

The boys who wore the blue have come
and saw and conquered, the camp fire Of
the O. d. Pease Post, G.. A. r., held
Monday evening at Turner Hall, being
one of the most pleasant, entertaining
and successful affairs this city ever wit
messed. The boys were astir on the
streets during the day, the blue coat and
brass buttons being conspicuous and
numerous. The ball opened at the hall
with supper, the finely spread tables testi-
flying to the good taste, management and
culinary attachments of the Watertown
ladies. But in the solcitude to pay tri-
butte to the cooking and viands, the young
lady walters must receive the great credit
due them for their attentions in serving
their numerous guests. At 8 o'clock the
exercises began in the upper hall and
the following programme was carried out:

Q. Tableau: 1.-THE Dying Soldier" with Vocal

and gave an interesting outline of the
history of the @. A. r. and the work and
aim of the organization. He was fire.
quently applauded. Past Commander
Cheek stirred the boys up to a high pitch
of enthusiasm in recounting the scenes
and incidents of the war and presented
some of the different phases of camp life,
as we'll as his own experiences, in most
humorous and entertaining manner. The
old soldiers present entered heartily into
the singing of a number of the old war songs
and the building fairly shook with
the choruses. Taken all through it was
a most creditable affair, everything being
conducted with the utmost decorum and
at the same time with the end kept in
view of extracting from it all the fun and
pleasure possible to enjoy. The camp
fire closed with a grand ball, which was
largely attended and dancing did not
cease until the we 'sma hours had grown
apace. Quite handsome sum was
realized from the proceeds for the benefit
of the relief fund.

s'UNIVERSALISM ASSERTED"
On the authority of reason, the fathers,
and Holy Scripture. By the Rev.
Thomas Allin, OF England. Published
by Elliott Stock, and sold by The Uni
versalist Publishing House, Western
Branch. Price $1.25. The second edi-
ton Of this valuable book has been en-
larged, and is highly commended by the
English and American press, as the fol-
lowing brief extracts will show:
"The popular revolt against the doctrine of
the future endless punishment of the wicked
is one of the most striking features of the age.
The book before us is another able
contribution to the humane and rational view
of the subject. The subject is discussed
mainly in the light of Scripture teaching.
The authors aim is to show that Scripture.
rightly translated and interpreted, renders no
trary distinctly sustains the faith in the final
salvation of all men. We heartily welcome
this book and commend it to the notice of all
who take an interest in the subject, which it
ably and temperately discusses. The In
qltirer.
'.This book is plea for Universalism. the
ultimate triumph of Christ in the recovering
of the human race from the effects of moral
transgression. The publication of such books
as this, and their number daily increases,
shows that the opinion is gaining hold of
some kind on the Christian public.
1t is impossible not to be struck by the col
lection of texts thus brought together by Mr..
Allin, and those who dispute his conclusion
from them are bound to show that his arrange
ment is faulty one. With an impas-
stoned peroration Mr.. Allin closes a remarka-
BILE volume which must attract attention.

There is evidence in this book of a good
deal of reading and thought. Church Bells.
1.-The terrible dogma of eternal punishment
is fast losing its hold on mems minds, and if
anything could hasten its decadence it would
be such calm and instructive reasoning, based
throughout on the broad meaning of the BIZ

This book shows that the larger hope is not
tolerant of evil, but explains and Jusrhes its
proper penalties, while it affirms the actual re-
demption and restoration of mankind to God
and goodness. - Christian World.

busy since entering upon the work to
which 1 was called in this State, preach
ing every Sunday and good portion of
the time through the week, visiting friends
in different portions of the State and
securing collections for missionary work,
which have been literally bestowed. At
present our friends are somewhat isolat-
ed, which will hinder for time organized
work in the way of forming societies
But If our friends will remain steadfast
present hindrances will soon give way to
the march of truth, and what at present
seems our disadvantage will soon prove
to be our advantage.
Therefore, let the motto be, olive and
work, work and live" for what you be-
leve to be the truth OF heaven, and by
and-by the leavening influence of the
kingdom of heaven will manifest itself
in gathering and in uniting other souls
with yours, and the result will be many
societies instead of the few. Can we do
this? Past history answers, "It we will"
And the calls that are coming up from
different parts of the State for missionary
work indicate that the friends are willing.
And may we all invoke the divine Helper
in so doingl
